Gobble Gobble Gobble...
Thanksgiving at the BarliantWisch Estate
November 24, 2005
"Another fine mess you've gotten us into, Ollie!" And,
yep, it was. This was one of the most diverse Thanksgiving weekends we've spent
in many, many years. Perry was in China so Jody and Tex went somewhere else.
Maria and the kids came here, as did her friend Gregory, his son Alex and his
friend Wallace. On our family's side, we got Denise, Hava and Hugo. Jeannine and
Hava entertained us with original song and dance. Original sin may have been
preferred but what the heck... you take what you can get. Our crew, the Davila's
and kids, kept the joint jumpin'.To say that the feast went well would be to
descend into the depths of understatement. Here are some of the photos.

I'm sure the sign says something pithy. |

This year we did a mesquite smoke. It is better than cherry. |
